how I can copy my Favorites from one PC to another? I've just had a new PC that's running on Windows 7 with IE9 and I'd like to get my Favorites from my old PC that runs on XP and IE8.
I have Windows 7 on my computer. Can anyone tell me the difference between Start/favorites and the Favorites toolbar which is the third toolbar on top of the screen?
First I tried drag-and-drop. Then the "add to favorites bar" star with the green arrow at the left end of the favorites bar. Finally selected the favorites bar at the top of the regular "add to favorites" procedure.
My biggest (albeit minor) complaint with IE9 is that 'locking' the Favorites window to its position on the left side of the browser has become somewhat tedious. Most know, but in IE8, the 'star' was on the tool bar above the left side browser, making it easy to click the star, click the 'lock' arrow and drag links from the address bar to whatever Favorites folder was desired.Now, one must click on the right side, click the lock arrow and then move the mouse to the left side to access. Much less efficient, IMO.Is anyone aware of a shortcut that makes this process easier? I know Alt+C will make the window appear, but ideally, I'd like to move the Star icon back to the left side.
I do not want my favorites bar organized in alpha order. I want an order that is more useful to me, but everytime I drag them around, my favorites go back to alpha order when I reopen IE. I do not mean the drop down favorites list, I mean the bar across the top. IE*, Win 7.
I'm being a little lazy and I know the answer already, but I'm asking anyway in the vain hope.....
One of my HDD's is failing quickly and I 'suspect' that it's the current drive that the beta is installed on (although I'm still not certain) and rather than go through all the nuisance of partitioning / installing on another drive, is there a way to copy the current install (6801) holus bolus to another drive and repair / modify the boot records / registry to make it function?
Alternatively, could I make a bootable image and use that to re-install on a new drive? I've never created an 'image' so that's new territory for me.
As I said, I doubt it's possible but as I've already spent days 'setting up' 6801, I really don't feel like doing it all again so soon, but the way my rigs been acting up, I may not have a choice.
(I've already installed a total of 5 fresh installations in the last couple of days and it's getting time consuming and tiresome)
I can't seem to delete 2 folders that I created in ie9 favorites. Everything I tried to delete them I get the message that they no longer located in c:usersvabroomfavorites. I have even tried to delete directly in c:usersvabroomfavorites and still get the same message. Any solution to this besides reinstalling win7?
i jsut moved the Desktop folder to a different drive cause i didnt want it to be on the SSD. i moved everything but from when i did this i cant add shortcuts to the explorer's left panel. ill show you a pic. http://imageshack.us/f/7/catturagy.png/ Under ''Preferiti'
how to make my "Folders" in my Favorites in alphabetical Order? Also, I have Verizon wireless. Why does my You Tube play for 15 to 20 seconds then stop for that long and then start again then stop, etc.
I just completed running a full backup of my PC onto an external drive using Windows Backup.When I went into IE (I'm running IE8 on Windows 7) all my dozens of favourites had vanished!I only have one used account on the PC as only I use it, so I an not in another account.I tried restoring favourites from the backup - the process tells me the files are already there, do I want to overwrite them - so I said yes, but they are still not visible in IE (I only get "Add to favourites", "Organise favourites" options when I click on the favourites tab).I tried doing a system restore, to a point before the backup, but that has made no difference.Obviously the favourites are there somewhere, as they are in the backup, but how on earth do I get them back into my Browser where I can use them?? (Come to that, how on earth can doing a backup have caused them to vanish??)
PS - I've just checked in Windows Explorer - in Users> Helen > Favorites they are all there, all 700 files in 64 folders - so why are they not showing in Internet Explorer where they should be?
Yesterday the favorites entry that led to the LIST of favorites and folders vanished.Also gone is the File menu. The sparse favorites bar with one pinned link is intact and useless.usersusernamefavorites is completely intact.hint(?) - On July 6 W7 booted the original configuration of IE9, with the Bing insanity. The desktop icons for text files did not get placed upon boot. Many program icons were missing. System restore had a restore point labeled Windows Crucial Update, dated July 4.
I somehow managed to rename the libraries as well as the 'Favorites' about half a year ago.I don't recall how, but remember that it took a lot of trial and error. It worked perfectly and consistently in the start menu and the window manager. Now, with the latest update (13 important) it all got changed back, and keeps so despite my effort to regain my version.How can I rename those again, or what was the update that reset MS defaults and how to kill it?
i have two laptops, one for home use and the other one is for outside as the second one is lighter.i add new favorite quite often, so how can i make them synchronize the favorites automatically?
I added more favorites into IE and I'd like to transfer the new ones into Firefox. Firefox imported some when I first opened it but how can I add more without manually adding each one?
When I installed Firefox, some of my favorites from IE were copied over from IE, but NOT all of them. I have done a search for Favorites in Firefox like the ones I can see in IE (in the user files) but the search finds nothing. Is there anyway I can copy the favorites I want from IE into Firefox.
The last week or so the IE 8 favorites keep resorting, before this it would happen every few months but now it is several times a day. I've never clicked on "Sort by Name". I've seen a thread where IE 9 has the same problem, so I don't want to upgrade to 9 if I don't have to.
I have 2 seperate computers both running Windows 7 and ie9 I would like to merge the 2 Favourites folders in ie9, so that they are both the same on each computer.I have tried backing up one and importing it into the other but it just overides the original.Can it be done in Windows 7?
I downloaded IE 9, and the yellow star with my Favorites is missing along with all my favorite links. Unless there is a way to get them back I will just go back to IE 8. I have Windows 7. Im also pretty much computer "challenged"
